Broken feather?

[ordenrahl]

I saw this after I brought lucky home from the vet, I would guess that its a broken feather. If so, Do I have to pull it out or will he take it out on his own?

 

[Peta]

Think you'll find that he'll pull it out on his own, you may notice that he will preen it for a while and then all of a sudden it will be gone. Bucc very often has feathers like this one, and I've never had to pull one yet.

I agree with Peta, your eckie will preen it out i would say.Dobby gets them often herself.

Might ask the vet that you just went to, what they recommend. I'm interested in what they have to say.

Maybe not a bad idea. I only ever pluck broken blood feathers and that is just to stop bleeding.
